Is your data easy to act on?Do you want to make sure struggling students don’t slip through the cracks? Need a tool that empowers your teachers to collaborate on interventions?Ready to transform conversations between teachers, students and parents?

PAI’s Snapshot is a comprehensive picture of student performance based on the Early Warning Indicator metrics for on-time graduation (Attendance, Behavior, and Course Performance). A student receives a flag for each of the 3 areas in which he or she is performing poorly.

Students are grouped by 1, 2 and 3 flags, which allows teachers to clearly understand how their students are doing and form targeted interventions for students in need of help.

In addition to a physical display, Snapshot is also available in a virtual format.

Highlights of PAI's Snapshot:

Displayed in one central location, accessible only to faculty and staff

Uses individual student cards that are updated 8 times a year (every interim and quarter)

Supported by training and technical assistance from a PAI staff expert

Can help facilitate and monitor school goal setting, as well as student and parent conferences

A cost effective way to bring large scale change to a student population

Encourages teacher collaboration, which leads to multi-layered supports for students

HOW WE HAVE HELPED...

“It’s impossible for students to fall through the cracks.”

– Assistant Principal

“You always think you know the kids … but when you see the data, it’s real. It helps you match the students with what they really need.”

– Assistant Principal

"Using the PAI Snapshot felt like a shift from yelling at students once they failed to coming alongside them and asking how they could help them NOT fail. Students felt much more empowered and respected."

- Ms. Johnson, Teacher and Data Specialist, Lincoln HS

“The insurmountable support that I received from PAI made this exposure to data more realistic, helpful, and easier to learn.”

– Mrs. Jones-Tabbs, College and Career Coordinator, South Philadelphia HS

“Showing students their Student Snapshot with all of the grades and trends made a real impact. The opportunity to know and make a change before the end of the report period truly helped a number of students.”
